The National German Test is administered each year to more than 25,000 American students enrolled in second, third and fourth year German. Local AATG chapters use the results of these tests to honor and award the students who have received the highest scores. The Northern Illinois Chapter strongly supports the Testing and Awards Program. Please consult our CHAPTER GUIDELINES for specific information on our program.

The AATG Northern Illinois Chapter congratulates the recipients of this year's awards and commendations. The 50th annual Student Awards Program took place at the Owen L. Coon Forum of Northwestern University on Sunday May 7, 2006. Click the online program for all the students who scored above the 90th percentile, along with their teachers.
